Canton Wonton: You Didn’t Miss Much

October 27, 2006 – 9:35 pm | by nerd's eye view

Canton Wonton House is a brightly lit place on Weller. The menu is noodles, noodles, and more noodles, served either soup style or on a plate with a dish of soup to dip your noodles in. The food is fresh and cheap, but not very satisfying. I’m not sure if it’s that the servings are not very generous or that the veggie dishes don’t have any protien in them, but even the meat eaters at the table wanted more after we were done. In Canton Wonton’s favor, the dumplings did get the thumbs up, but that was the exception. Skip it and go up the street to one of the other places - we eyed the menu at Chinese Noodle on the way back to the car and thought we’d have done better to eat there.

After dinner, we went for mediocre ice cream at the food court at Uwajimaya. “Not the best ginger ice cream I’ve had” said one, and “Not worth the calories” said another. All in all some pretty disappointing dining. That’s not to say it was a bad night out - good company and lively conversation make up for dull food. There’s no excuse for making the same mistake twice, though. Bypass Canton Wonton House and go somewhere else. If you’re still peckish, pick up some Ben and Jerry’s and head home.

Canton Wonton is at 608 Weller in Seattle’s International District.
